Did you?
Are there disappointed forum members here who have been turned away from JL?
misscherrypie received an invite from JL. I'm sure there are others.
ETA: Yep, in fact there is even a thread entitled " AOIIs and The Junior League."
I think you may be perpetuating negative stereotypes about an organization with which you have no experience.
Sound familiar? It kinda jumps up and down on my irony button.  |
I think you must have learned the word irony from Alanis Morissette because I don't think you know what it means. Thanks for bringing up a completely unrelated thread. OMG. There are AOIIs that are Junior Leaguers. Who'd have thought?
Where did I say there was anything wrong with the JL? You have a little something wrong with reading comprehension or else get overwhelmingly defensive when someone says anything remotely negative about JL. No, I have never tried to join the JL. Relaying my sister's experience isn't spreading negative propaganda, it is illustrating the point that JL is not always completely open to everyone. My sister loved JL when she was in Seattle. Not so much when she moved home. I know exact details including chapters, and I didn't have to experience it myself to know it's true. She's not some cousin of some friend's roommate. Regardless, your fall back defense that sorority chapters don't always accept sisters that transfer is unrelated and a distraction from the original topic. We are discussing whether or not the OP would be turned down. Whether or not a chapter of a sorority would refuse her if she transferred is moot since she has not been given a bid in the first place.
As an aside, you might notice that you get an overwhelmingly negative reaction on GC. It's because of your persistent aggressive manner. When you respond, try to take a deep breath and realize people are not attacking you and everything you hold dear before responding. Every post you make sounds like a mean attempt to put someone in their place. Definitely not a way to make friends or influence people.
